Happy Birthday!<br />
On 11 April 1900, the United States Navy purchased the<br />
Type VI Holland Diving Boat. They christened it the <strong>USS</strong><br />
Holland (SS 1) and it became the Navy’s first submarine.<br />
<strong>USS</strong> HOLLAND (SS 1)<br />
I think that’s’ Chief O’Hara up front<br />
John Philip Holland’s vision was of a submarine fleet<br />
which could act, in today’s language, as a deterrent and<br />
he consistently proclaimed that submarines would<br />
actually prevent war.<br />
When the Navy announced a $200,000 <strong>com</strong>petition to<br />
build a submarine, Holland, who had been designing<br />
submarines for many years, entered his drawings in the<br />
<strong>com</strong>petition and set up the John P Holland Torpedo<br />
Boat Company.<br />
On 13 March 1895, the $200,000 contract for Holland’s<br />
patented design was signed and the government elected<br />
to call it the Plunger. The contract’s ambitious speed<br />
and endurance requirements dictated that the steam<br />
plant and the electric motor be huge, making the boat<br />
very large (and very hot for a crew). From the start,<br />
Holland predicted, to himself, that the Plunger would<br />
fail. Government and financial pressure, however, had<br />
forced Holland to embark on the Plunger against his<br />
own better judgment.<br />
Page 1 of 16<br />
During construction of the Plunger, Holland had<br />
convinced his board and backers to finance another<br />
submarine, built entirely to his own specifications,<br />
which could be sold to markets other than just the<br />
United States Government. That plan worked out<br />
because the Plunger was launched in 1897, but the navy<br />
stopped the trials and shifted their interest to the new<br />
Holland VI instead.<br />
The Holland VI turned out to be as near perfect as the<br />
times would allow. But, on the night of 13 October<br />
1897, a worker left a valve open while the boat was still<br />
in the slip. At high tide, water flooded the boat. After<br />
the water was pumped out, all the electrical equipment<br />
was grounded and they could not get enough heat to<br />
them to dry them out. Consequently, short of cutting<br />
the boat open and ripping out all the electrical<br />
equipment, the John P Holland Torpedo Boat Company<br />
could not fix the problem. Fortunately, the accident<br />
brought to the stage a clever young electrician by the<br />
name of Frank T. Cable, on loan from the Electro-<br />
Dynamic Company of Philadelphia. Unencumbered by<br />
rules or red tape, that has never since been equaled, he<br />
simply reversed the current in the field circuits,<br />
neglecting all principles of recognized electrical motor<br />
management, and soon the wiring generated ample heat<br />
to dry out the circuits.<br />
On 17 March 1898, Holland VI made its first successful<br />
dive underway off Staten Island and on Sunday, 27<br />
March 1898, the Navy Department witnessed, to their<br />
<strong>com</strong>plete satisfaction, the formal trials. On 10 April<br />
1898 the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Theodore<br />
Roosevelt, wrote to the Secretary of the Navy saying<br />
that he thought the Holland submarine boat should be<br />
purchased.<br />
It took another year for the navy to train men, test the<br />
boat, and demand modification after modification.<br />
Some were sound, but most just delayed delivery.
During this time, due to financial problems, the Electric<br />
Boat Company absorbed the Holland Torpedo Boat<br />
Company. They soon also swallowed up other<br />
<strong>com</strong>panies, including the Electro-Dynamic Company of<br />
Philadelphia. Even after being in the US more than 30<br />
years, Holland, an Irishman, was no match for the<br />
acumen of American businessmen and was slowly and<br />
steadily being eased out of what was be<strong>com</strong>ing a very<br />
powerful concern. He had lost extensive foreign patent<br />
rights to the <strong>com</strong>posite <strong>com</strong>pany and his status in the<br />
new firm was considerably diminished. By the time of<br />
the final trails, Holland was little more than a bystander.<br />
On 11 April 1900, Holland VI was bought for the<br />
United States Navy amidst headlines describing her as<br />
‘the Monster War Fish’, ‘Uncle Sam’s Devil of the<br />
Deep’ and ‘The Navy Hell Diver’. As other navies of<br />
the world paid close attention to these proceedings and<br />
the ranting of the press, Holland VI took her place in<br />
the United States Navy as the <strong>USS</strong> Holland (SS-1).<br />
The original contract for the Plunger was cancelled on<br />
19 November 1900. On 1 February 1902 it was<br />
launched, by name only, as Plunger (SS-1), but<br />
subsequently designated A1. It was <strong>com</strong>missioned on<br />
19 September 1903 and used mainly for trials and<br />
training for the duration of her short career.<br />
With all that Holland contributed to the beginnings of<br />
the submarine success, his salary never rose above $90<br />
per week, and by the time he left the <strong>com</strong>pany in 1904<br />
at the age of 63, he held no more than one half of one<br />
per cent of the <strong>com</strong>pany’s share value. So, on April the<br />
11 th , when you’re celebrating the birth of our submarine<br />
force, say a quiet little thank you to John P. Holland.<br />
2011 HADDO REUNION<br />
Once again, our call to<br />
arms is<br />
“See You in St. Louie”<br />
anywhere from 20 to 45 years. In that context, I guess<br />
it could be considered old hat.<br />
Planned Events<br />
Thursday’s Kick-Off<br />
Registration begins at noon (1200 hours), September<br />
22, in the Hospitality Room. The Hospitality Room<br />
will be open from 10:00AM till ????? daily and will<br />

Friday’s Gala Events<br />
Golf Outing: We’ll start Friday morning,<br />
September 23, with the <strong>USS</strong> <strong>Haddo</strong> Golf Outing.<br />
The event will be held at the Crystal Springs Quarry<br />
Golf Course. Tee off time is at 8:00AM. This year,<br />
because of all the other special events on Friday, we<br />
will be playing 9 holes instead of the usual 18 holes.<br />
The cost for this event is $18.00 which includes the<br />
cart. Rental clubs will be available for $12.50. Each<br />
person participating in the golf outing will be<br />
responsible for their greens fees and club rentals, and<br />
will pay the golf course directly. We are also going<br />
to change the scoring a bit this year to give everyone<br />
a chance at winning one of those fabulous trophies.<br />
At the end of the outing, all names and scores will go<br />
into a hat and the teams will be selected by random<br />
drawing from the hat. Participants will be<br />
responsible for their own transportation to and from<br />
the golf course.<br />
If you read the last newsletter, the next couple of pages<br />
will be old hat to you. But, if you missed it, or are as<br />
forgetful as I am, the following will give you an idea as<br />
2009’s August Collection of Golfers<br />

FROM THE CREW<br />
<strong>Haddo</strong> Memories:<br />
from <strong>Ray</strong> <strong>Butters</strong><br />
As I was going through the new names on the roster, I<br />
came across one name, David Lee Denny, that brought<br />
back some fond memories. He was a first class ST and<br />
hours of the morning, I got up from the couch, casually<br />
walked across the room to the bathroom, gave up a big<br />
heave into the <strong>com</strong>mode, and returned to the couch with<br />
practically no interruption in our conversation. That<br />
was the first time in my memory that I had ever up<br />
chucked. I did it one more time and coincidently it was<br />
aboard <strong>Haddo</strong> also. But that’s another story.<br />
was already onboard when I got there in the fall of At some point during New Construction, Mr. Hinkle<br />
1963. I was a second class ST.<br />
had the Sonar Gang begin 12-hour days. When Denny<br />
I had <strong>com</strong>e from ASW School, Key West, where I had<br />
been trained on the AN/BQS-6; the new sophisticated<br />
sonar for these new sophisticated Fast Attack<br />
told his expecting wife about the long hours, his<br />
mother-in-law said that with the baby <strong>com</strong>ing, the overtime<br />
pay would <strong>com</strong>e in handy. Don’t we all wish!<br />
Submarines. After classes, another second class and I I haven’t seen Denny since he left the Boat in 1965, I<br />
would checkout and watch training films on surface think. Yesterday, I was able to send him an e-mail and<br />
sonars. Since the first class exam was all about I’m anxious to hear back. Since I only go into town<br />
skimmer stuff we needed to learn about the operation once or twice a month to do e-mail stuff, don’t look in<br />
and maintenance of the various equipments, search the Mail Sack to see if we connected. You can ask me,<br />
patterns for numerous conditions, tactics for detection<br />
and tracking, etc., etc. I thought with all this studying,<br />
or maybe even Denny, at the Reunion.<br />
we were almost guaranteed to pass the first class exam.<br />
I could spout off all kinds of information that I would MISCELLANEOUS<br />
never use. Well, I didn’t pass the test.<br />
Here’s a neat website sent by Mike Gaffney. Type this<br />
Shortly after reporting aboard <strong>Haddo</strong>, Mr. Hinkle – my<br />
division officer, said that he had re<strong>com</strong>mended me for<br />
first class. “And, by the way, when I think someone is<br />
ready for advancement, they had better not prove me<br />
ULR into your search engine and see some old <strong>Haddo</strong><br />
faces. Actually, they’re not that old.<br />
http://www.facebook.<strong>com</strong>/photo.php?fbid=1485878521837&<br />
set=o.46197393562&theater<br />
wrong.” He even gave me a couple hours a day on the Here’s another website that may be of interest, sent by<br />
barge to study. My gut feeling was that after watching Bob. Veterans can now request a copy of their DD214<br />
all those movies and <strong>com</strong>pleting all the training courses electronically through the National Personnel Records<br />
while in Key West, it wasn’t going to help to rehash Center (NPRC). The process takes between 10 and 14<br />
those training books. After I took the first class test business days. Veterans can also request their military<br />
again, I realized I was right; I was going to fail this test records electronically! Log on at: -<br />
a second time.<br />
http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/<br />
Failing the test wasn’t my biggest worry. It was Mr.<br />
Hinkle. He told Chief Jamison one time “You can<br />
disagree with me if you want. Then we can go behind<br />
the tool shed and I will convince you who’s right”. I<br />
doubted that Mr. Hinkle would take me behind the tool<br />
shed, but I knew his verbal attack could be just as bad.<br />
I worried about the day the results would <strong>com</strong>e back<br />
showing my failing mark. I planned speech after<br />
Military veterans and the next of kin of the deceased<br />
former military members may now use this on-line<br />
military personnel records system to request documents.<br />
Other individuals must use the standard form 180,<br />
which can be downloaded from the website. For more<br />
information about requesting military or VA records<br />
call 1.314.801.0800<br />
speech in preparation, but I couldn’t stop worrying.<br />
The armpits of my dungaree shirts became stained<br />
beyond savaging. If I saw him I would move to avoid<br />
his physical proximity. Then the day came. It came,<br />
but I couldn’t believe it. I had passed the test and was<br />
to be advanced to ST1.<br />
That evening, David Lee Denny came over to my<br />
apartment and we sat in the front room and drank Old<br />
Grand Dad till the sun came up. 100 Proof, Bottled in<br />
Bond – what were we thinking? Sometime in the wee<br />
THANKS<br />
For all of you who over the years have helped pay for<br />
the production and distribution of the <strong>Haddo</strong><br />
Newsletter, your contributions have been sincerely<br />
appreciated. Those contributions greatly reduced our<br />
out-of-pocket expenses; we couldn’t have done it<br />
without your help.<br />
Thank You All Very Much!<br />
Page 5 of 16
I have also gotten lots of help from Hall and Liz Clark<br />
in getting the e-mail versions out to those of you have<br />
agreed to receive an electronic version. It saves trees;<br />
but more importantly to <strong>Susie</strong> and I, it saves printing<br />
and postage costs, plus about four days of labor<br />
printing, collating, folding, stuffing, labeling, and<br />
stamping. Ralph and Trudy Stroede have also<br />
contributed to getting this newsletter to you. They have<br />
done exhaustive internet searches to increase the<br />
number of shipmates that we can make contact with,<br />
plus putting the newsletter on the website. They have<br />
even made the mailings for the last issue and this one. I<br />
can’t thank these four people enough, so I am just going<br />
to offer a simple, but heartfelt, “Thank You”.<br />
That leaves <strong>Susie</strong> and me with the task of putting the<br />
newsletter together. We could <strong>com</strong>e up with things of<br />
marginal interest and generate a newsletter all by<br />
ourselves, of course, but you won’t like it nearly as<br />
much as when you can read about the experiences of<br />
other <strong>Haddo</strong> sailors. Stories that stimulate memorable<br />
experiences you’ve been through; that cause you to<br />
remember the camaraderie that you once shared; that<br />
make you laugh again at the fun we all had; that revive<br />
the sense of personal pride we once felt as a well oiled<br />
team; and that rekindle the meaning of Shipmate.<br />
Stories from all of you can do that; mine alone can’t.<br />
So, I hope you realize, we still need your help. You<br />
can’t be takers all the time. You have to be a giver<br />
once in a while too. Be a giver again, like you were on<br />
the Boat. You didn’t just stand aside and let others do<br />
all the work. Everybody pitched in. It’s time to pitch in<br />
again and send us some of your memories. Help your<br />
shipmates relive some of the most memorable times of<br />
their lives; or maybe just be that stimulus that put a<br />
smile on their faces. Without your inputs, I am afraid<br />
that this newsletter will simply fade into a biannual<br />
reunion announcement.<br />
ROSTER UPDATE<br />
Take a look at the roster!!! There are more names in<br />
red, meaning that they are new to the roster, than there<br />
ever has been. Our roster has almost doubled – thanks<br />
to the efforts of our reunion <strong>com</strong>mittee and specifically<br />
Trudy and Ralph Stroede. Just after the roster, there is a<br />
list of names that they couldn’t find any contact<br />
information for. Please take a look at that list and see if<br />
you can help fill in any of the blanks.<br />
If you change your e-mail address, please inform Ralph<br />
Stroede at rstroede@hughes.net, or let me know at<br />
raydbf@aol.<strong>com</strong>. Otherwise you will be<strong>com</strong>e one of<br />
those names on the ‘WANTED’.<br />

The Biggest British Submarine Ever Built<br />
Meet HMS Ambush, the Royal Navy’s newest hunterkiller<br />
submarine. The ‘super-sub’ is able to make<br />
oxygen and fresh water from seawater, to keep the 98<br />
crew (it has not yet been decided if this will include<br />
women) alive in time of crisis. Her nuclear reactor<br />
could power a city the size of Southampton, she will<br />
never need refueling and she can use her guided<br />
missiles to pulverize an enemy more than 1,000 miles<br />
away. And, despite being 50 per cent bigger than the<br />
Swiftsure and Trafalgar subs that she will replace,<br />
Ambush is quieter. Her propellers are said to make less<br />
noise than a baby dolphin, making her virtually<br />
undetectable to enemy vessels.<br />
Of course, that is if enemy vessels can get near her.<br />
The submarine’s sonar and radar are so sensitive that<br />
she can detect ships a staggering 3,000 nautical miles<br />
away. It means that if she was sitting in the English<br />
Channel she would know if a ship left New York's<br />
harbor. A true titan of the deep, the £1.2billion warship<br />
will be launched at Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria on<br />
Thursday. But naval chiefs will nervously hope the<br />
newly named craft will not suffer the same catalogue of<br />
disasters that has recently befallen her sister vessel,<br />
HMS Astute. Astute’s captain, Commander Andy<br />
Coles, was relieved of his duties after the submarine ran<br />
aground on a sandbank off the Isle of Skye in October.<br />
During the rescue, a tug collided with the sub, causing<br />
£7million of damage. Last week, she limped back to
her home port of Faslane after a mechanical failure at<br />
sea. Ambush will be unveiled and officially named by<br />
Lady Anne Soar, the wife of the Royal Navy’s<br />
Commander in Chief, Fleet Admiral Sir Trevor Soar<br />
After the ceremony, the awesome 7,400-tonne sub will<br />
be wheeled from her shed and lowered into the wet<br />
dock for further outfitting and testing. And having<br />
<strong>com</strong>e in massively over-budget and five years late, the<br />
Navy is expecting nothing less than a top-of-the-range<br />
vessel. More <strong>com</strong>plex than the U.S. Space Shuttles and<br />
able to circumnavigate the globe without surfacing,<br />
Ambush is 291ft long, as wide as four double-decker<br />
buses, and 12 stories high. A typical patrol lasts ten<br />
HMS Ambush<br />
Page 7 of 16<br />
weeks, but she could theoretically stay underwater for<br />
her entire 25-year lifespan.<br />
HMS Ambush will carry 38 missiles, a mixture of<br />
Tomahawk cruise missiles, which have a range of 1,240<br />
miles, and Spearfish heavyweight torpedoes to target<br />
other ships and submarines. Her nuclear-powered<br />
engine will propel her through the water at more than<br />
20 knots, allowing her to travel 500 miles a day. In this<br />
image released by the Navy, a section of the hull behind<br />
the conning tower has been intriguingly obscured for<br />
security reasons.<br />

MAIL SACK<br />
Steven Albert<br />
Hey Hal, Please change my Address. I’m still a DAC, but have a friend there who is old Navy and we have some fun with the<br />
soldiers, but mostly it is trying to see that the deserving get help and the wanna bees get out. Tell <strong>Butters</strong> I pass through<br />
Walsenburg at least 6 times a year going to Aztec NM, and I'd like to look him up sometime. Have a friend in Alamosa that I try<br />
to keep tabs on also, not an SS though. Hope you’re doing well, maybe I can arrange my schedule to be in St Louis for a little of<br />
the time this next round. Have a few folks I'd like to see. You too!! Steven<br />
__________<br />
Hey Steve, that would be great if you can make St. Louis. I'd love to swap sea stories with you too. It's been way too long since<br />
I've seen you. I'll pass this on to <strong>Ray</strong> <strong>Butters</strong> and make sure this gets changed for the crew's list and mail out of the newsletter.--<br />

Hello Hal, I received your name/e-mail from Adam Black who forwarded the current newsletter on to me. I don't know if you are<br />
the webmaster/editor of the newsletter or not, but I would like to have my name added if you are. If not, I would appreciate any<br />
assistance you could provide. I tried to add about a month ago, but the address listed for a contact in the newsletter (not yours)<br />
bounced back to me. I was the corpsman from 1981-1983. We made a WestPac right after I checked aboard and then we went to<br />
Mare Island upon returning. I wound up <strong>com</strong>pleting my qualifications while in the yard.<br />

Ralph, thanks for adding my name to the e-mail list for distribution (the cost of mail is just too high). I relieved as Chief Engineer<br />
in the middle of the SUBSAFE overhaul in Charleston in 1970 and was relieved just in time to throw off the lines, from the pier<br />
side, as the ship left for the refueling overhaul in Mississippi. Jim<br />

Thanks for the newsletter. If you could put my address and e-mail in the crew list, that would be super. Thanks/Senior Chief E<br />
(<strong>Haddo</strong> 83-85 (Rouse/Raaz crew).<br />

Arthur Kneuer<br />
I was initially assigned to <strong>Haddo</strong> pre-<strong>com</strong>missioning crew as Chief of the Boat. Shortly after my arrival I was advanced from<br />
TMC(SS) to LTJG and was replaced by Chief O’Hara. I assumed the temporary duties of Weapons Officer until my transfer to<br />
OCS, Newport, RI. Arthur (Dutch) Kneuer mailto:AKneuer@aol.<strong>com</strong><br />

Thank you for the newsletter. I'm a 604 vet from 86-89. How do I get my contact info on the next newsletter? Reunion looks like<br />
a good time; wife and I recognize many names including having served with Gregg Larson. Take care. Steve<br />

Mr. Clark, Thank you for the newsletter! I have greatly enjoyed it. I was station on the <strong>Haddo</strong> (My first boat and qualified on<br />
her.) sometime between 1989 through de<strong>com</strong>mission. I have many found memories of my time onboard. I also would have to say<br />
that it was the most rewarding out of the three I was station on. The other two are the Jefferson City and Hyman G. Rickover.<br />
I was wondering if it would be possible for future newsletters to have the years they served next to the name? I was looking for<br />
some friends in the list but my memory was failing me on some of the first names. Thanks, Ken Patterson<br />
__________<br />
Ken, At present, I only have the dates of service aboard <strong>Haddo</strong> for a few shipmates. However, we are currently trying to gather<br />
that information. My best suggestion to you is to attend the reunion this September in St. Louis. There will be shipmates there<br />
from the time frame that you were aboard that you can get reacquainted with and even find the whereabouts of others. Of course,<br />
you name is now in the roster and some of your old shipmates may get a hold of you. <strong>Ray</strong> <strong>Butters</strong><br />

Aloha Trudy! Thank you so much to you and your husband for being such an important part of keeping <strong>Haddo</strong> memories, new<br />
and old, alive amongst her alumni. I will not be able to attend the <strong>Haddo</strong> Reunion next September but I would like to share my<br />
personal info for your database. I was an SK2(SS) aboard <strong>Haddo</strong> from Sep 75-Oct 79. My full name is Artagnan L. Rodriguez.<br />
My address is 3071 Jimmy Way, Roseville, CA 95747. My home phone is (916) 749-4967. You have my permission to place my<br />
information, including my email address of artagnan57@<strong>com</strong>cast.net, on the <strong>Haddo</strong> roster list (I did not see my name on it in the<br />
latest newsletter). Thank you again for all the work you do in keeping the gang together and informed on the “whatever happened<br />
to….”. Take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Sincerely, Artagnan L. Rodriguez, FTCS(SS), (Ret. USN)<br />

Hal, Thanks for the newsletter; really enjoyed it. While this may not be the correct forum: As far as women aboard submarines, I<br />
would only ask for a review of their overall record at the academy. Personally, I do not think they belong on U.S. submarines. It<br />
is clearly not that they aren't capable; it is strictly a morale issue with families. But then, the liberals seem to always win. That is<br />
why they refuse their last rights and demand their last lefts. Mark Schwinger<br />
__________<br />
Thanks for the <strong>com</strong>ments Mark, I agree 100%. I remember when they started putting women on surface ships. With the first “trial<br />
group” almost all of them were pregnant within the first 18 months. There are too many dis<strong>com</strong>forts and distractions on a boat.<br />
Don’t need anymore distractions or stressors while serving on a boat.<br />
I’ll forward your <strong>com</strong>ments to <strong>Ray</strong> <strong>Butters</strong> and hope to see you at the next reunion, as I think we’ll be able to make this one. I wish<br />
we could have “piggy backed” our reunion with the United States Submarine Veteran’s reunion in Springfield, MO. as it is in the<br />
same month as ours and is right down the road from Branson, MO. Best Regards, Hal Clark<br />
